Anyone going to use primrose oil?

Question

When I was pregnant last year with #2 I did try the tablets I think I took 2 orally and 2 vaginally around 37-38weeks trying to soften my cervics to prepare for labor and I was induced at 39weeks due to high risk. I don't know if it really does anything, it's hard to tell. I'm debating doing it again with this pregnancy but just wanted to hear your opinions.

Answer

I'm going to start both raspberry leaf tea and epo with baby #2 raspberry leaf from 32weeks and epo at 34weeks, every little helps when it comes to labour, my midwife has said that raspberry leaf tea needs to start at around 32weeks in order to get benefits from it x

Answer

My midwife suggested red raspberry leaf tea starting around 37 weeks and said that she's found that evening primrose oil capsules work best vaginally. They're on my list!

Answer

Yes I think I'll start at 38-39 weeks. It's my first and they say it's common to go past your due date with your first. I do not want to be induced. I'm going to do evening primrose oil orally and vaginally and clary sage essential oil on my belly. I've been drinking red raspberry leaf tea a few days a week already.

Answer

I will if I go over. They are really affective! If I would've known they worked that well, I would've waited to use it in my previous pregnancy.
